This paper proposes a nonlinear adaptive position and attitude-tracking controller for
satellite proximity operations between a target and a chaser satellite. The controller requires …

The capture of a free-floating tumbling object using an autonomous vehicle is a key
technology for many future orbital missions. Spacecraft proximity operations will play an …

This paper addresses the tracking control problem of the leader–follower spacecraft
formation, by which we mean that the relative motion between the leader and the follower is …

This paper studies the relative position tracking and attitude synchronization of non-
cooperative spacecraft rendezvous with model uncertainty and external disturbance. The …

This paper investigates the fault-tolerant attitude stabilization control problem for the satellite
system subject to actuator failures, sensor failures and external disturbances. First, the H∞ …

SPACECRAFT formation flying (SFF) represents the concept of replacing a complex single
spacecraft with a collective of smaller, less-expensive, and cooperative ones [1, 2]. The SFF …

In this paper, the problem of adaptive finite-time attitude containment control for multiple
spacecrafts with unknown external disturbances in spacecraft formation flying is …

This paper proposes an adaptive sliding mode control law based on dual quaternions for six-
degree-of-freedom proximity operations between a chaser and a target spacecraft. Dual …

This article investigates the coupled attitude and orbit tracking maneuver control problem of
a spacecraft system in close space missions with model uncertainty, unknown disturbance …

In this paper, a solution to the problem of rest-to-rest three-axis attitude reorientation of a
fully actuated rigid body under multiple attitude-constraint zones and angular velocity limits …
